    catalytic cracking

    Conversion of ethane to ethylene and hydrogen is called "Steam cracking" Your teacher is correct. Although the name is misleading because there is no smaller hydrocarbons produced. "Catalytic cracking" is the splitting of large molecules (eg naptha) into smaller molecules (eg ethene).

    electron energy levels - Chem coach?

    This would be true if the electron in a hydrogen atom could resist the attraction of the positive nucleus, but it can't and it doesn't. The same way a satellite does not resist the force of gravity from earth, it just goes with flow. In the case of a satellite, the result of this inward...

    electron energy levels - Chem coach?

    Electrons in different shells are at different distances from the nucleus. All electrons are not equidistant from the nucleus. The radius of an orbit is given by r=n2a, where n= shell number and a=0.0529nm. The energy the electrons have is the sum of their potential and kinetic energies...

    electron energy levels - Chem coach?

    Electrons exist in specific energy levels according to their energy - higher energy allows higher radius of travel from nucleus. Electrons can't exist in regions in between shells because stable standing waves cannot be produced in these circumferences ( an even number of wavelengths) -...

    Converse of Galilean/Newtonian Principle of Relativity

    "A non-inertial frame of reference is one where the laws of motion hold. In all practical cases, they are the frames of reference where gravity is the only force acting." [Simply Einstein 1999]. This definition seems to apply to all cases, but its not the BOS definition as you correctly...

    Chem Prac: Comparing pH of strong and weak acids

    pH probes should be calibrated with 2 buffers (with buffer 2 and 7 in your case- for offset and slope), and never allowed to dry out (this is hard to guarantee in a school environment where caps can go missing or not filled with water). Drying of the measuring glass tip will destroy the...

    why is the chemical formula of ethanoic acid CH3COOH?

    "eth" prefix means 2 carbons in total. C2H5COOH contains 3 carbons. Therefore it is propanoic acid.

    equalibrium: how many moles of carbon dioxide in 50ml of soda water?

    moles NaOH= conc x vol = 0.1M x 0.0235L =0.00235 Neutralisation Rxn (abbreviated): 2NaOH + CO2 -> Na2CO3 + H2O So moles CO2 in sample= 0.00235/2 = 0.001175

    equalibrium: how many moles of carbon dioxide in 50ml of soda water?

    You need to know the weight loss of the soda-water sample before you can calculate the answer. Its a prac, so the results are relevent.
